What Percent of married women has affairs?
A percentage of men have been doing exactly the same thing for centuries! Unfortunately, some women take it too far to the right wing. Their attitude is "if a man can do it so can I." Not all women have lengthly exit affairs and some that do are either still in love with their mate, but frustrated over certain issues and there is a lack of communication, or, they are too scared to end the relationship for fear of being lonely. There is a low percentage of women that love to have their mate around for security, but still play around on him. That's called having your cake and eating it too. If this is happening to you then YOU have the control to stop it! A woman can only play this game if you allow it. Sometimes it's just drama, to demonstrate to everyone how much they cared about that person and how difficult it is to be moving on. Other times it's ambivilance, unable to make up her mind. Other times it's just handy to be able to go to somebody to satisfy an emotional need. Or how about, "it's better the devil you know than the devil you don't." What you're describing can have many causes. First, she needs to know herself.
Is it illegal to cheat on someone when you are married?

How do you end your husband's emotional affair?
* Ending an emotional affair is difficult because there is no physical contact between your husband and the other woman and the mind is free to think as that individual allows it. If your husband is willing you should seek marriage counseling so you can learn the tools to communicate with your spouse and they you and if your husband will have nothing to do with counseling then be blunt in saying you are not wasting your life on him if he continues to have this emotional affair and will at least get a separation from him in hopes he will see how hurtful he is being to you and if he does not snap out of it divorce will be your next step. By allowing him to do as he pleases and staying with you then you are enabling this emotional affair. Often humans want what they cannot have and this may well be where your husbands thoughts are now.

The best thing to do is to tell the truth whatever it may be and find out what exactly is making him suspicious if you are not cheating. Then try and talk through this and reassure him (assuming your not) but if you are the only thing to do is be honest.
Why is it considered more acceptable for men to cheat than women?
Men cheating is NOT more acceptable than for women who cheat in these modern times. Both are wrong! At one time men did cheat more often than women and there wasn't the programs and other places for women to go too for help (if married) and as long as the husband kept bringing the pay checks home and behaved themselves at social gatherings that's all many women use to care about. Now that is no excuse for a woman to stay married to a man that cheats and vice-versa. Over a hundred years ago women in high society had their children with their husbands because it was expected, but after that the women had little interest in sex (sex wasn't as open back then and women weren't suppose to know too much about sex and basically any showing of taking the lead in love-making was frowned upon) so it was accepted that the husband have a mistress and it was simply done discreetly. This also went for Southern plantation owners and it is from the genteel part of society. Today women are more open about sex and realizing they have the right to enjoy sex as well, so women cheating is neck-in-neck with the men.
I am Married and pregnant with another mans child can i give the child my husbands last name?
That's between you and your husband.
Do you know for sure it's not his?
Does he now know it's not his?
Has he forgiven you?
If you've told him, and he's forgave you, he may choose to have his last name on the child and raise it himself. (Of course, the biological father should have some say in this.)
Or he may choose to withhold his name. In which case you can give the child your last name, or talk with the biological father - he may want it to be his last name.
Disadvantages of relationships?
This is a very broad topic. There are no particular disadvantages of relationships--those are determined by the people involved, their expectations, their actions, communication between the parties, etc.
The general consensus seems to be that when trust is gone, the relationship is finished.
Can married men be happy and still cheat?
Sweetie, if married man or married men are happy with their marriage, do you think they have reason to cheat and betrayed their wife? Some will do because it's their nature. They can not be satisfied with just one woman or a wife. Some married man will take a while before they end up having affair, reason is for his selfishness. There's a lot of happy marriage that husband have affairs, not only the one who's having problem. But if you put all this together, men do make their own bed and they also lay on it.

What to do if a girl cheats on you with another girl?
- When a girl has cheated with you with another girl then this makes her bisexual (liking both sexes) and this could cause you more problems than you probably would want to deal with. Whether she cheated on you with another boy or girl it is still cheating. It would be wise of you to stop seeing her and start meeting new girls and eventually you will find someone that is more loyal to you.
Can a wife sue a woman for having an affair with her husband 2 years ago?
In the US, you have to check the laws of the state the situation is in to get a definitive answer. In virtually all states, this is not grounds to sue someone for damages in the same sense you sue someone for negligence in a car accident. The other woman has no duty not to have an affair with the husband. (Some cynics might say there aren't even any damages and the wife is better off without the guy. But I wouldn't.) However, you can name her in an action to divorce the cheating scoundrel as the person he is committing adultery with. But that will not get you damages.
How do you stop loving a narcissitic person once they have dumped you?
It really doesn't matter if they are narcissistic or not it is about you getting over this particular person. You have to distant yourself from this person and give yourself time to get over them, let go and move on. Getting over someone that you may have really liked or cared for as well as in the end broken up with you will take some time but don't allow them to control you after the fact in a sense to put you in a slump or depression as one person is just not worth it. Keep yourself busy with friends and family as well as doing things that interest you and allow yourself to move on - leave the past in the past take what you learned from it forward as to not repeat anything unwanted in the future.
How long does an emotional and physical affair continue after the wife discovers this?
Depends on the situation. If the affair is happening where both parties are within physical proximity, not long at all. If there is distance (like far away places or within hundreds of miles) it may take longer, but, will become more of a "phone sex" scenario. If phone sex occurs, it is the same as physical sex because they are talking and fantasizing about (usually self stimulating as well) what they would be doing if they were together. So basically it is just used to close the distance, but the outcome is the same. Given time, as tension increases and phone sex becomes not enough anymore, both parties will figure out ways to make the physical contact happen regardless of distance.
When you are in an emotional affair, the next step is a ticking time bomb that is going to go off. It is never a question of if, but when, where and how.
Does it matter?An Affair is An Affair. Hard to accept but it is what it is, and you need to find a way to move forward with your life.
There is obviously no one size fits all answer. I would like to comment on a lack of understanding of what an emotional affair is. An emotional affair is secretive. It is not a friendship shared with both husband and wife but a relationship where only one person in the marriage is involved. It consists of conversation and possibly other activities that would not take place in the presence of the spouse.
I'm awake, I realize it's an affair. But my spouse claims that her year long affair never became physical. I have my doubts, she met him on more than one occasion and I don't understand how they just sat around a talked. Especially since they were talking daily at work and on the phone.
Emotional, sexual, it's an affair! Your spouse is cheating! Wake Up!
They are talking at work and on the phone? Boy oh boy, You've got to nip this in the bud. It's obvious by your message that they work together, and you know the co-worker. Do you realize that you are in a sense allowing this to happen. First off you should give her the alternative that it is you or the co-worker. If you have any chance of saving what you have with your spouse, she is going to have to look for another JOB. Most companies do not allow this type of activity to happen in the work place. Surprising she and he are still working at the same place. Your spouse is having an affair whether it be emotional or physical. Once the trust is gone, there is no marriage. Things will never be the same between the two of you, even if you reconcile. It will most likely take years for you to fully TRUST your spouse again. If you and your spouse want to save your marriage, it is suggested that the both of you seek some professional marriage counseling immediately.
TALK WITH YOUR WIFE, and tell her how you feel. Tell her how you are having a hard time dealing with this. Ask her if she would be receptive to some canceling, because the BOTH of you need to do this together. Seek out a GOOD MARRIAGE CONCELLOR. Maybe you will find all your answers there.
Your hurting to much.
Good Luck!
Not long if they have the opportunity to be sexual. If they let themselves be have an emotional affair, the sex is not much different, nor is it not far behind it.
I don't think it is long either. If it is an emotional affair this can and will most of the time lead to a sexual affair.
Fifty percent of emotional affairs turn sexual. Your spouse is getting something from the other person that he/she isn't getting from you.
DOES IT MATTER? ITS ALL CHEATING AND NO ONE WHO IS IN A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD PLACE THEMSELVWS IN A SITUATION WHERE SOMETHONG COULD HAPPEN
An emotional affair isn't always an affair. Two people of the opposite sex can be very close friends without it being any more than that. I go to movies with my male and female friends both, i don't think of either as a date and neither do they, only my spouse does! My partner believes that anyone i talk to that isn't built the same as me sexually is trouble and is wanting nothing more than to break up our ten year marriage. Give your spouse some room, ultimately this shows that you aren't trusting them and that is one of the big things in a relationship. If they are really in cheating mode you can't stop them anyway now can you? Constantly badgering your spouse about who they talk to, where they were, what they did will destroy the marriage faster than anything else.
What the heck is an emotional affair? I've had physical affairs...those are pretty simple. There's a line (whatever you and your spouse agree on), and once you cross it you're cheating. But speaking as someone who's always easily and naturally formed close friendship bonds with men, the concept of an emotional affair is hard to fathom. Is it cheating just because I go out with my male friends? What about if I hang out alone with my best friend? Where's the line?
Honestly, I think the whole concept is ridiculous. Your spouse or partner is not only allowed but *entitled* to social interaction with people other than you and the kids. You cannot and will never satisfy all of his or her needs for social and intellectual companionship. And if she's not attracted to her friends, their gender is totally irrelevant. There is no reason you should be okay with a close same-sex friendship (which nearly everyone is) but call it cheating if the friend is of the opposite sex.
Usually pretty soon. Think about it, If the two of them are attach to each other on the emotional level, then why not jump into the next level (become physical) while the chance is given.
Friend or Lover?I do agree with the one poster that it's possible to have a male friend because I have several (my husband has female friends) we have them for dinner, or one of us may have a drink or coffee with our friend.To explain what an "emotional affair" is .... it's two people of the opposite sex who continually titillate each other by constantly flirting. Some people feel flirting is OK, but sooner or later one or the other is going to begin to take it the wrong way, or perhaps it's simply playing with fire. It happens! I have five words "One doth protest too much!" When this happens one or both people start to tell others "we're just friends" every chance they get and it gets rather tiring. People of the opposite sex that are really friends don't have to keep reminding everyone they are just friends.
Right now I have a girlfriend that is going through this. She has her marriage problems, but nothing communication wouldn't resolve. She has since met a married man whose wife lives in the States and isn't here in Canada. They started by bike riding together and going for coffee. That's fine and no one cared one way or the other. Suddenly she was protesting a little too much and seeing this fellow too much. Going over to his apartment or having him to her place on occasion when her husband was out of town. Sometimes her so-called male friend would come over while her husband was there. Still no one has said a word and it's no one's business, but now the two of them are protesting yet once again. This is usually an indication of guilt whether it's the thought pattern of an possible affair. It happens a lot! My friend has lost weight, is argumentative with friends, moody and a plain pain in the butt. It's that old guilt hitting her!
If you have nothing to hide then there is no reason the friend who is of the opposite sex can't come over for dinner and sit with you and your husband and enjoy the evening. Meeting in out of the way places creates suspicion by not only the spouse, but friends. Going to a movie or an occasional drink or a cup of coffee is fine, but when you're spending more time with your so-called friend then your mate there IS something wrong and it's called AN EMOTIONAL AFFAIR!
Usually after an emotional affair begins, the affair may last up to several weeks or months before sexual contact begins. The emotional part of it almost seems like the first time a husband and wife met. In other words, if it is done in the fashion a marriage begins, then the people committing the affair will "Get to know" each other, spend time with each other, and then eventually fall in love. The conclusion of this is usually some sort of sexual contact. It may begin with kissing, and then gradually lead up to more intimate contact. Emotional affairs are extremely dangerous! This is why if one believes their spouse may be "Drifting away" please seek professional help immediately! this is usually what destroys a marriage!
Recent statistics state that emotional affairs are more difficult for the "cheatiavang" spouse to leave, even if not physical contact has yet taken place, than the "classical" sexual affair.
I am dating a women that is married to a verbally abusive and controlling man I can tell you that we began an emotional affair and we fell in love soon after it became physical.
ANSWER:
I'm amazed with all of the answer here, even it's different the meaning are all the same. Emotional affair is the most dangerous affair a person can have and it does ruin the bond of marriage. When I caught my husband, first thing he told me was "were just friends." Friends who talk on the phone every single day until early morning for over two months.Just friends who never cared if he only sleep 2-3 hours every night. And they are only friends who spent time with her at her home, visiting her at work during night time, going out on a date, and if my husband can't be with her, his Friend will drive more than 100 miles so she can see him while he was working at night.
It took my husband at least 2 weeks before the emotional affair turned to more than a friend. When I got all the evidence, that's when I found out how quick my husband become addicted to this woman. He admit that they are not doing anything wrong because they haven't slept together only making out at the beach, her home, and inside the car. That is why we have separated life.
- For several decades cheating men always took their wedding band off if they had one so they would appear single. Women were informed more openly back in the 1940s and 1950s to look for a wedding band and some men were none too bright and would have a tan and when they took off the wedding band a white mark was left where the was on his finger and it was a red flag to single women. This has been going on for years, but apparently in these modern times the morality has flown out the door. The two people that should be interested in the wedding band is the husband and wife. By not wearing a wedding band he can con his mistress into believing she is his true love to have a sexual relationship and if he is caught or gets bored with his mistress on goes the wedding band.
B:
Different folks with different stroke as they say. The question is why, depends on the man who is married. And yes Ms. Marcy is correct men who is married do take it off so that way he can say that he is divorce, or in the market. No man will want to be seen wearing his ring if he is out with his mistress or what ever he calls her.
From my experience the man that I married gave me his wedding band right around when he was already on a dating site. So his profile will say "other" From there on there's no guilt that he felt even though that were not divorce yet. And when I say man don't like to be seen wearing it while with other woman, this man that I married didn't either so he had the freedom to be with his mistress out dating. So those are some reason why married men never wear their ring.
If a married man has an love affair does it mean he is unhappy with the marriage?
If a married man is having an affair then he yes he is probably unhappy with his marriage or might have fallen in love with another person but one things for sure hes a jerk.
It can often indicate that he is unhappy with himself. The affair may be no more and no less that a reaffirmation that he is still attractive to women. This is not uncommon as a man approaches middle age.
How many chances should you give your girlfriend?
In my first marriage we both cheated on each other and we were both so devastated we got divorced. I vowed that I would work harder in my next relationship if that happened. Well my next relationship came along and she cheated on me once ,so we went to counseling. I warned her that my patience was not infinite. She cheated several times after that with the same guy ( her x boy friend). I broke the relationship off because among other things she wanted to get pregnant and I didn't want to be raising a child that may not be mine. Bottom line from these experiences: work very very hard to make you relationship work including getting rid of your anger and if they continue to cheat break it off decisively no matter how much begging & whining they do. You have to respect yourself first and that includes doing everything to make it work including counseling. If they continue to cheat break it off. If you are a man you can never be sure it's your baby. If you are a Womyn how'd you like to be living with the same guy when your pregnant? A Womyn needs to be feelling supported during her pregnancy by some one she trusts. Break it off like you were ripping off a band-aid quickly and don't look back. Get a restraining order if you need to.
Why some married men destroy their marriage for simple emotional affair?
- Both married men and women who have emotional affairs begin innocently enough with just talking to the opposite sex on a friendship basis and the more the friend responds the higher the risk that the friendship could become sexual. Men and women simply do not think clearly ahead to know that when they may lean on someone of the opposite sex for any reason that this could well end up in an affair.
What does it mean to be a fairy princess?
Dreams communicate through symbols, which are unique to each dreamer. So there really needs to be more information than a single image: a "fairy" could represent any number of things, from freedom and magic to one's opinion of homosexuality.
Can i legal action be taken against your husband mistress?
No. There is no such thing as "moral damages". You could not even sue for the tort of infliction of emotional distress if the affair caused you such distress. There is no recognized cause of action for emotional loss through extramarital affairs.
You cheated on your boyfriend while he was in jail what do you do?
If you did cheat on your boyfriend you need to ask yourself, do you really love your boyfriend or this other guy (one you cheated on)? If you love your boyfriend you should tell him and talk to him and tell why you cheated on him. (was it something he did or said that made you feel like you needed to cheat on him) But if you don't love your boyfriend but you love the other guy then you should tell them both how you feel and break up with your current boyfriend. Talking is the best thing you can do. :)
If my gf cheated on me i will beat her to oblivion then stick my 10000000 inch monster-madness and tell her how much she is missing this.
well who ever said this is more than likely to cheat^
Signs of your boyfriend cheating with your relative?
Signs a boyfriend may be cheating with a relative:
- Always coming over if they know that relative is there, but not coming over as much if that relative is not there.
- Trying to get the relatives attention by eye or hand signals so they can go off to a more private area.
- Finding excuses to telephone that relative when it is not necessary.
- Not wanting to discuss the issue with you.
- If he has stopped seeing you as much and spends more time around the relatives in your family.
- Eye contact; touching feet or holding hands under the table is a good indication.
Instead of second guessing learn to communicate and come right out and ask him if he is cheating on you with your relative. If he goes red in the face; shifts from foot to foot or storms out the door the chances are he may be having an affair with your relative. Step lightly and be cautious before accusing your boyfriend or relative of cheating because they may just like each other as friends. Keep a keen eye on what they do when they are together.
Can a man really love his wife if he sleeps around with other women?
The important question I think is not whether a married man can love his wife and other women but should he? People are capable of loving many people in a variety of relationships, but a married man that really loves his wife is not usually going to love other women at the same time because that dishonors his wife which is not a very good way of demonstrating love for another person, especially a spouse.
ANSWER:
Can a married man? the answer on top is right, we all can love lots of people in a different way, like close friend, the god parents of our child and so on. But for you to ask if a married man can love his wife and the other woman called "mistress" is very wrong. How can a man love his wife if he will hurt her by loving another woman his having an affair with. How can you love your wife by having 2 different life? We will not talk about "the bills of right" but we can talk about what's right and what's wrong.
Maybe you love your wife but not 100%, your family is your security away from the other woman. Your wife is your "jack of all trade" and the other woman is your fun life. Your wife is the one that do dishes, wash your dirty clothes, cook your meal, hear you snore, if theres children she's the one that take care of them, wait for you to come home and so many things. Your other woman deserve your love because all she does is to make you happy. Maybe listen to you talk and the most fun you take her out to a nice dinner while your wife cook and wait for you.
All of the qualities I wrote here, the man that I married did to his mistress, so now how do you think I felt when the man that I married told me that he loves his mistress? Is is Christian way or selfish way?
How does a guy feel when he is cheated on?
Unless his heart is as hard as a rock (which could be the very reason one would cheat on him), it's going to be a mixture of these things, which do not differ much from what anyone would feel:
*Surprise/Shock - Getting hit by a freight train - Wind knocked out of you
*Betrayed to the utmost (More wind knocked our of you)
*Heart-Broken
*Sadness/loneliness/anger
*Any/all stage(s) of the grief process
Depending on the guy, your end result:
Heart as hard as a rock, Bitterness, Apathy, or, possibly, forgiveness, openess to a second chance (tread lightly as trust has to be rebuilt from the start again)
